NEXT TIME 



f ROCHESTER, N. Y., extends to you a 
cordial invitation to be its guest at the time 
of your next convention. 

^ The Rochester Chamber of Commerce 
presents herewith a glimpse of the city's 
largest hotels, its Convention Hall — free 
to visiting organizations— and some of its 
nooks and corners of beauty and recreation. 




^ Rochesterians will w^el- 
come you, and would 
give you the keys to the 
city, except for the fact 
the gates are never closed. 

q Rochester is a city of 
business, flowers and 
good fellowship.

N the first place, when you 
go to a convention you 
want to do more than mere- 
ly *' convene.*' 

^ That is, you want to go 
to a city that has ample 
hotel accommodations at a 
reasonable price ; excellent railroad 
facilities, so you may go and come 
with the maximum of comfort and 
convenience. 

^ And, more important than all— you 
want to go to a city that has play- 
grounds for the **grown-ups,** — 
something to do between sessions. 
^ Another thing ; most conventions 
are held in the warmer months — the 
dull business period. 
^ Naturally you, as a delegate, would 
prefer to go w^here cool breezes 
abound ; w^here your coat will not 
have to be discarded during the ses- 
sions iof your convention ; where the 
citizens will give you a good hearty 
handshake, and where, in the leisure 
hours, you may choose from among 
half-a-hundred delightful pastimes. 
^ All of this is possible in Rochester. 



PERHAPS you do not know 
that the waves of Lake On- 
tario wash the sands in the 
front yards of Rochester's subur- 
ban residences. 

Twenty-five minutes by trolley 
from the Chamber of Commerce 
Building to the Lake, where there 
is the best of bathing and fishing. 

Commodious pleasure boats are 
there to whisk you across the Lake 
for half-a-day's sojourn in Canada. 

More trolley lines — 165 miles of 
them — will carry you to numerous 
smaller lakes to the southward; to 
Ontario Beach Park, the Coney 
Island of Western New York; to a 
dozen spacious public parks where 
bands play in the evening and 
where children romp all day with 
roses in their cheeks and music 
in their laughter.

That means hitshu-ss, and Rochester is a 
business city, above all else. 

Rochester makes more cameras and photo- 
graphic supplies than all the rest of the country 
put together. 



ROCHESTER leads the world 
in the production of ofTice 
filing devices, buttons, ther- 
mometers, canned goods, seeds 
and nursery stock, wood and paper 
box niachincrv, optical instruments, 
enameled tanks, coaches, etc. 

Rochester makes $25,000,000 
worth of ready-made clothing every 
year, and $30,000,000 worth of 
boots and shoes. 



f N other words. Rochester is a 
I real American municipality, 
progressive, energetic, anibi- 
ous, and withal, hospitable and 
nsellish. 
Its citizens are glad to welcom.*
